Sydney Metro Catchment Management Authority:
Influencing
and Motivating Behaviour Workshops. There was a good rapport between T Issues and the CMA in planning the workshop and responding to comments or suggestions. In workshop delivery the ability to actively engage participants and to have a comfortable, non-confrontational style resulted in a highly interactive workshop. Breadth of experience and local knowledge of environmental issues and personal contacts. Ability to understand the audience’s needs and how to address those needs. Knowledge of behaviour change and a good range of activities to deliver workshop content. Leanne Hanvey & Judy Christie WA Chapter of the

Environmental Education: Two-day Evaluation Workshop –
Knowing that it Works. Well prepared, friendly, personable, and you were very inclusive to the participants and provided a genuinely useful resource. However the pace of the event felt a little slow. Justin Mowatt

Councils:
Two-day Evaluation Workshop – Knowing that it Works. Years of experience – specifically that Grahame has been involved with Outcomes Hierarchy for some time. Excellent facilitation with a good range of exercises and activities for this particular group. You make a great 2 handed team. Good pace, gentle and encouraging. Hazel Storey Workshop organiser NSW Environmental Trust:
Workshops for Potential Grant Applicants Designed to Improve the
Quality of Grant Applications. A high degree of professionalism was used in the conduct of the project. Under relatively problematic conditions an excellent outcome was achieved by this project and I am confident we will see an overall improvement to the quality of applications submitted to the Trust for the 2006 funding round. One of the major strengths was the prior knowledge of the Trust and the strength in facilitation skills. The facilitators were able to turn the application process around so people were aware of what reviewers would be looking form. The final evaluation report and recommendations for the future were a highly useful component of the workshops as we can immediately see how the workshops went. The recommendations provide us with an independent view on possible changes for the future that can be considered. Leah Andrews

Understanding and Managing Change Workshop. Lots of small group work grappling with concepts was confronting (hard work with unknown people) BUT rewarding. Very enjoyable presenters and ideas. Nice bunch of participants. Participant comment The presentation style works for this workshop. Two presenters worked, but the workshop could be run effectively by one presenter as long as the basic style of presentation was maintained.
